I have loved reading your blog for many months now and have always been impressed with your kindness and thoughtfulness of others. This was a huge and successful project for you to take on at such a busy time in your own life. By following your heart and the spirit of our Father in Heaven you have inspired and blessed the Marcs and so many others with your efforts. Thank you for your selfless example.

You can add me to the list of people who cried reading your post. You don't know me, besides from maybe recognizing me as someone who bought a shamrock shirt. I thought I should post and introduce myself instead of being a stranger reading your blog. I'm the person from Koeln, Germany on your news feed. :) I'm originally from MI but we're living here for now. I'm a mommy. I'm a christian but I have to be honest and everything that I've witnessed over the last month has made me evaluate my relationship with Jesus. But, like so many others, I'm forever changed. I remember seeing your post when you first decided to make the messy flower in honor of Cora, WOW, I'm just in awe. In awe of what God has done. In awe of what you have done. You did what others (including myself) think to do but never act. You are so thoughtful...so talented...so inspiring. I'm bummed that I missed out on the Cora messy flower but I'm glad I got the shirt. :) I hope you don't mind if I add your blog to my favorites, I would be honored to continue learning from you. Your blog is like an inspiring book...but WAY better!! Thank you! God Bless! Michele

That last little bit gave me goosebumps. It seems your sweet girl takes after her mother. Thanks so much for sharing this story with us and for letting us help too. God is using this to do incredible things, of that I am certain!
